Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the resemblance of eukaryotes with prokaryotic archaea in some features and bacteria in others.
Introduction:
From many experimental pieces of evidence, it was proved that the eukaryotes share some similar characters with the prokaryotes. The similarities result from the evolutionary contribution of the bacteria and archaea in the formation of eukaryotes. The evolutionary contributions of prokaryotes make some features of the eukaryotes like bacteria and some like archaea.
The table below shows the differences between the prokaryotes and eukaryotes:
